New device could spot birth injuries better than finger exam
NCT ID NCT07474012
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether a machine learning-assisted device (ONIRY) can detect obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI) in first-time mothers after vaginal delivery better than the standard digital rectal exam. 110 women will receive both exams within an hour of giving birth, and results will be confirmed with an ultrasound. The goal is to see if the new method improves detection and helps prevent long-term problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- machine learning-assisted electrical impedance spectroscopy (ONIRY system)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a faster, more accurate way to detect anal sphincter injuries after childbirth, potentially reducing long-term complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (110 participants) comparing a new device to standard exam. The device may not prove more accurate, and results may not apply to all women.
